We have covered Science Fiction Airsoft Guns and Airsoft Guns that Look Futuristic. It is time to round out your loadout with some fantasy equipment. Afterall, wouldn't it be fun if you take out a paramilitary fast team with awesome spec ops tactics while cosplaying steampunk raiders?
In this article, we are going to round out some cool gear that are fantasy like, futuristic, and, maybe, even functional for airsoft!
CompassIf you are looking for a fantasy airsoft facemask, you are in luck. There are tons of them, ranging from skulls to vipers to movie characters (see photo below).
Keep in mind that many of these facemasks have mesh eye protection. Mesh protection is not as good a impact goggles, because shattered BB's can make their way through the mesh and hurt your eyes. You should replace the mesh eye protection with airsoft goggles. You can wear the goggles over the facemask or underneath the facemask.
Also, don't discount your own creativity. You can take a paintball facemask and paint it to look futuristic, fantasy, or steampunkish. The photo below shows a futuristic paintball facemask that you can buy off-the-shelf. Point is you can paint a black facemask to something similar to the example below.
While everyone else is attempting silent kills with fake tactical knife, why not pull out a Halloween butcher knife. Just think, Normal Bates slashes the throat of a airsoft tactician with full military load out. There are so many toy knives and knife props for Halloween that your choice is limitless. See some of the possibilities below. And many of them costs less than a rubber tactical knife.
There are plenty of foam swords and foam axes on the market (see photos below), as it is an extremely popular children's toy. Nerf makes quite a few of them for Nerf battles. Wouldn't it also be cool to try fighting your way through hordes of airsoft players with a pirate scimitar. You can be Captain Jack Sparrow on the airsoft field.
Some may wonder why you'd even consider using swords and axes on an airsoft battlefield. I have seen them used quite successfully in an airsoft zombie game, where being touched means you turn into a zombie. A long sword, compared to tactical knife, increases your survivability. In addition, in some of these airsoft zombie games, zombie may have a longer spawning time when killed by a melee weapon vs. an airsoft gun.
SWAT uses ballistic shields in their operations. Airsoft players have airsoft versions of the ballistic shields. Why not try a medieval shield (see photo ? It could be fun to shoot your way forward with an airsoft pistol while holding a form shield. They are much cheaper than a fake ballstic shield as well.
Of course, you can also use a real metal shield, instead of a foam shield, since it's unlikely you'll hurt anyone with it. Then you can really see BB's bouncing in all directions. Just be careful you don't drop it on your feet.
Just searching for "watch with compass" on Amazone yields a number of intereting time pieces. They have multiple dials for various functions (see photo below). All the dials laid out in various pattern provide a steampunk sense.
The prices of these timepieces are extraordinarily inexpensive. But you get what you pay for, because the compass on these timepieces do not work too well. But for steampunk cosplay, these timepieces fits the bill perfectly. Before getting onto the airsoft battlefield as a steampunk character, consider one of these timepiece jewelry to finish off your loadout.
